Lucrethia by V Canto is praised for its pleasant scent and exceptional longevity, but the community consensus highlights that this strength becomes a weakness when overexposed - the fragrance is so powerful and long-lasting that it saturates spaces and is extremely difficult to remove. Multiple users describe it as having impressive projection, but caution that overuse can lead to scent fatigue and negative associations.

The r/fragrance community has polarized opinions on Black Orchid, with many praising its unique dark, artistic character and exceptional longevity, while others find the heavy patchouli and earthy base off-putting. Most wearers report getting compliments when wearing it in the right context, though it requires careful application due to its extreme strength and works best as an occasional evening fragrance rather than daily wear.
